Create Multiple Node ?
I recently had to go through the "how the hell am I gonna make my photo gallery easy to update by a super basic user?".
The easiest way I found was by using CCK / Views / Image field / Image cache / Image Pager. Works great, BUT... not perfect... every gallery is A node with multiple pics in it...
Basically my big worrie is how to make the "create and image gallery and upload pics in it" step as easy as possible. And when I was thinking about how to do that, I realised that an anoying side of drupal, is that you can't create several nodes at the same time. If you want to upload 10 image as nodes, you have to create one bye one... too long...
What if it was just possible, when you are creating your content, to have the ability to create several... like if I want to upload 10 images, I can go to my CCK for image that I set before, but I could just create multiple images at once, and every each of them would be a different node, with taxonomy, title, author...etc...
I guess it would be a module called something like "CCK Multiple Node", that would do the same trick as enabling "multiple value" for a field, but better, by actually creating multiple nodes...
I'm a designer, not a coder... so is there any existing way to do that allready ? Or is there anybody feeling like working on that, cause I really think that a simple module like that would really open new horyzon to drupal.
I know this is an old thread
I know this is an old thread but I was thinking the same thing.
I was tossing up whether to just upload each individual file into separate nodes - but really its a waste of time of you have to keep doing it over and over again.
I tried out Acidfree, Album Photos and Node Gallery... but nothing comes close to what I need.
Did you find a solution?

There's probably 100 different ways to do photo galleries-- it all depends on "what you need" which you really don't explain. Currently, my preferred (and the most flexible imo) method is http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach.
If you really don't want images to be their own nodes, then just use a multivalue imagefield to add the images to a single node. Then you could use the swftools module to show those images in a simpleviewer gallery if you want (or use any jquery slideshow you fancy).
You may wish to browse the modules that integrate with imagefield for some ideas of things that are readily available (like import or multiple uploads).

general multi-node creation
Hm, but what if we're not talking about image handling but general multi-node creation? Would it be possible to create a cck module which enables you to create multiple nodes? Like for example, you're creating a "page" and want 10 subpages to this page, it would be great to have a cck field that enables you to create those subpages all at once.
